Wash.. June 25. Frank
Ward, an oiler employed by the National
Lumber & Box company, had his left
arm crushed and torn from Its socket
while at work In the mill Monday. He
was standing on a box oiling a friction
wheel when the box upset - suddenly.
Ward instinctively threw out his arm to
save himself and It was caught In the
gearing, which crushed the bone. The
weight of his falling body pulled the
arm out of place. He retained con
sciousness and, holding the bleeding
stump in his right - hand, walked to
where fellow-workmen were standing.
